figure out where there's the most traffic, which camera is issuing the most tickets. they put out a freedom of information request. they discovered even though there's a clearly posted speed limit there, this street is coming back more often than any other. a roadway like the bw parkway may seem the fastest way to get around. a new report says it's the most costly. aaa found d.c. cameras issued 28% of all speed camera tickets this year. >> d.c. 295 may be, may be the most expensive road in america to drive on. >> reporter: three of the top five speed cameras issuing the most citations are on 295, the southbound exit at exit one. the other location 67,000. the cameras 295 at betty road

and branch avenue with 40,000 tickets issued. aaa saysany commuters don't believe the speed limit is appropriate for 295 and the design for the parkway may be what drives drivers to speed. >> it looks like an interstate. it has the feel of a parkway or a fast road. so you get on it and you are very comfortable doing 55 to 60 miles an hour. the speed limit there is 40 to 45. >> reporter: you can see it in black and white. 45 miles per hour. of course, the number of speeders that are actually caught by the cameras is one of the reasons why they are bringing in so much money. there's also the cost of the fines. in many cases, well over $100 per citation. there's a committee set up to look at that and see if the fine is appropriate and maybe they will decide to bring it down a little. reporting live in northeast d.c., richard jordan, news 4.

>> thanks, richard. >> all lanes of i-95 are open. the accident happened around 11:30 last night at mile marker 138. virginia state police say the car was trying to avoid hitting a deer. the accident shut down northbound lanes of 95 for more than five hours. it took that long to clean up debris and fuel that spilled. >> look at all that traffic out there. is it still out there? let's talk to danella for the first time this wednesday morning. >> good morning to you both. i-95 in virginia is a lot better. it was tied up. now, nice and clear. here is the situation still going on that was occurring this morning. northbound pennsylvania avenue, the left lane blocked between the beltway because of a water main break in that area. crews are working to repair it. the outer loop of the beltway, an earlier crash at georgia avenue. that crash is gone.

a bit under speed. not terrible. sluggish as you head toward i-270. it will take 14 minutes. >> back to you. >> thanks. the federal government launched a prop into the d.c. tax office. chief financial office -- the securities and change office is calling for audits dating back to january of 2010. the d.c. council cited the tax office on a number of issues including tax tracking and oversight. they criticized him for not releasing audits that document the problems. a report on the audits, his office said they are cooperating with the request. police are looking for a serial broker linked to a string of sexual assaults in fairfax county. it happened on south maple avenue in gibson street. a man approached a woman,

of this shortage and what it's having on the students. >> reporter: this is a prince george's county public school system bus lot. there are plenty of buses here. the problem is county is facing isn't a shortage of buses, it's a shortage of bus drivers. >> i don't know what to do. >> reporter: it's a parent's worst nightmare. you get your kid ready for school, send them off to the bus stop and the unthinkable happens. they never get picked up. >> they started school. they left her son far from here. >> luckily, she put his information on an identification card attached to her jacket that proved the only reason he made it to school safely. >> thank god this good person take the baby and bring it to her house. what happened if somebody, you know, somebody is taken and never bring him home. >> reporter: it's a problem they are trying to fix.

a shortage of bus drivers to eliminate stops and routes. >> one driver had to do multiple runs to a school to double bus routes. >> reporter: with the consolidated routes comes a trickle down effect. students are getting to school late. >> thousands of students are arriving late. we have other strategies we are implementing here in the future. >> reporter: there have been changes. the principal has shortened lunch and recess to offset the students that arrive late on the county buses. >> as we are recruiting the drivers, going through the interview process, we have 16 on the road already. we will have 100 new drivers on the road by december 21st. >> reporter: the director of transportation says they are the only school to amend the school day due to kids getting there late. they may change bell schedules

intended to happen. >> richard says he meant to say that god does not intend for rape to happen but god is the only one who can create life. mitt romney is distancing himself from that remark. the gop nominee appears in an ad for him but the comment does not reflect romney's views. president obama is in the middle of the single busiest day of his campaign. iowa is the first stop on a tour that will cover all four time zones in the couldn't nen tall united states and more than 5,000 miles in a single day. then he heads to denver and l.a. for a taping of the "tonight show." he flies eastward for a rally in las vegas. romney got a gruelling day of campaigning in as well. he will visit reno, nevada, then iowa and three stops in ohio today. this mad dash to election day

family at home. >> set a good example by speaking up. >> that's usually important. kids are always modelling what we present to them. if we show aggression while we are driving, they may translate that verbal aggression to the classroom. we are doing it to a driver on the highway. at the same time, when we need someone that needs help, we need to speak up. imagine if you go to work, the house catches on fire and your neighbor looks up saying glad that wasn't my house on fire. >> unfortunately, it happens that way. we read reports of people that walk over people. >> we don't need more bystanders, we need people to take action. >> before we get to the skit, your last point. >> kids get involved in social groups. help them form friendships that keep them from being socially isolated. >> who do we have? >> zoey, the bully, logan and sophie, who is going to save the day. >> hey, cry baby, what are you

two years. the federal reserve wraps up a two-day meeting this afternoon. they are not expected to make major changes in policy. college loan debt. it's an issue. we know about it heavily around the united states. the cost of higher education continues to rise. the college board says in-state tuition rose $400 this fall or 5% to $8,655. that's up modestly from years past. if you include room and board, the total is $17,860. the price tag for a private school, $39,518. a third of students pay full price if you factor in student aid and scholarships. something to be aware of when you move forward in financial planning. keith? >> thanks. early treatment may be key for key suffering from adhd.

a recent study found men diagnosed but not treated didn't do as well in adulthood as their n non-adhd counter parts. there are three particular things in a person's life that could have been better had they had some treatment. >> right. the three things that we see are worse off for people who do not get treated for adhd are things like substance abuse, education and divorce rates. >> let's talk about substance abuse. people not treated for adhd, we are talking about, tell us what it is, again? >> the group that has adhd as a kid and does not get treated, they have a 14% rate of substance abuse in early adulthood versus 5% for those who did not have adhd.

>> what about divorce rate for people with that. >> the divorce rate is much more significant for those people who have adhd. it's understandable why that would take place. there, the divorce rate is 31% with adhd and 12% without adhd. they are difficult to be married to. they are not organized, they are not doing well professionally. relationship problems, money problems. >> the third is education. let's look at the differences. >> the people with adhd have a 3.7% rate to get educated beyond high school versus 29.4% without adad. >> it's not a child's fault if they don't get treated. they are not the ones who make the decisions. a lot of parents don't want them treated because they think they are going to outgrow it. >> a large part of the population does not believe adhd

is a real disorder. i get upset when i hear that. one of the most rewarding things i do as a doctor is treat this condition. you see such a difference in the outcome. i know it's very difficult to make a decision to put your child on medication. it's not a decision any parent takes lightly. it can tremendously change the outcome for the child's future. >> it sounds like it. could it also leave them -- i have a friend whose son is trying to get a license -- a pilot's license. he can't get it because he tested, as a child, to have adhd and can't fly if you have it. >> i have an adult patient i treat for adhd. i had to write a letter for him because he's not able to get his pilot's license because he's on adhd medication. it's very unfortunate. it's a deeper and bigger

question. if you are treated for adhd, we know they are able to function as well as somebody without adhd. >> people can be treated as adults for adhd, is that right? >> people who have adult adhd are actually kids who had adhd who never had it diagnosed as kids. 50% of kids with adhd outgrow it. 50% will not. those go on to be called adult adhd patients. >> the only way to determine if they have outgrown it is what? >> if you go on medication when you are young, every year you want to try to go off the medication to see if you have outgrown the problem. generally, it's late teens to early 20s when you get full development of the frontal lobe. >> can you tell me quickly, how can an adult know if they have adhd and should seek help? >> there's good books to seek. go to the chad website.

pay attention to things like are they forgetful? do they lose things? do they procrastinate? are they bad with time management? have a difficult time reading? if you are answering yes, look into it. >> it's never too late to treat it? >> never too late. they are thrilled with the outcome. >> thank you for coming to talk to us about this. >> it's 11:51. coming up, the leesburg homeowner showing his "gangnam style" and halloween spirit at the same time. plus, meteorologist
